7:16 am
it looks that some people are very tired of. i will in the name them but somebody that you might be looking at right now. but 34 degrees in philadelphia is our temperature. thirty-four in trenton. thirty-four in wilmington. thirty-four in millville. thirty-one in the poconos. we are looking at some cloud over the area right now. i think we will probably hang on to most of these clouds to take and then just add to them overnight. winter weather advisory goes into effect at 6:00 in the poconos. it initial to effect about midnight through the lehigh valley and 6:00 a.m. to our immediate north and western suburbs. and it goes until tuesday morning, about 6:00 a.m. so just know that this front that is coming through here and the low pressure system starts to drag down some of this colder air, and then eventually it will work its way to the philadelphia area. we are not under that winter weather advisory in philadelphia or in new jersey, south jersey, or through delaware. but that is in the the to say that later on in the game, tomorrow afternoon, we will be at the colder eras it does
7:17 am
come in. at this point we're not. cold front is sagging through. temperatures today mile. they could be close to 60 degrees through some sections of southern delaware, 50 degrees in philadelphia and in the northern areas, you will stay in the lower 40's, now, this low pressure system will ride along this, that creates a variety of wintry weather conditions and that will be starting overnight, and as we go through the day and, here's the time line, late tomorrow, and this morning in philadelphia, is rain, and to the north and west freezing rain and sleet so watch out for that as we go in the monday morning time period. that colder air comes farther south and we can find any of our rain transitioning over to light snow, sleet mix so just be careful in all areas of our viewing area let's time this all out computer models say, tonight, fine, so far. and then tomorrow morning and
7:18 am
then again subject to change. it has been changing the timing on this a million times. it will probably continue to do so but latest read thaw have seen that icing up through the poconos tomorrow morning to start the day colder air coming in, any rain transitioning over to the possibility of the mix as we move through the afternoon. some rain to the south 4:00 p.m., we may still be dealing with that some snow to the north. then wrap around snow shower tomorrow night late, it is possible. so in philadelphia, for instance it is possible that the evening commute will be worse than the morning commute. areas north and west you may start were not a great morning commute. we will just to have watch the transition of this and changing temperatures. snow amounts completely unimpressive through our area maybe not even a inch, and little bit more to the north. ice, not hugely impressive but there could be some. just know that as we go through i-95 corridor and areas to the north that there could be some icing concerns and that is why that winter weather advisory is out there. not so much for the snow but possibility of foot travel.
7:19 am
forty-eight, mostly cloudy to day, in the the bad. tonight 32 degrees. it starts to not get good as we watch the temperatures cropping, precipitation coming in, be careful, walking and driving, and bring those pets in out of a cold, wet day on monday, we have changing road conditions as temperatures, change and fall below freezing by monday night and ending maybe as some snow or even around here light amounts. tuesday is gone. wednesday, thursday they look okay at the this point. friday is bitterly cold with a high temperature of only 22 degrees. nicole. >> carol, thank you. it is 7:19. the let see how traffic is moving with ann evans in the cbs-3 traffic center hi, ann. >> traffic is moving pretty well nicole, this is schuylkill at vine expressway. schuylkill at the top, vine street expressway in the middle. these highways look quite peaceful, in the couple hours they have been very full. today is last day as i mentioned of the philadelphia auto show, last day to get there and this is one of the highways would you take and so
7:20 am
far so good this morning. we are going to move the traffic cam to i-95, thinks north bound between cottman avenue and bridge street you will look to the right and see construction that the cones are set up and i-95 north bound there is construction between bridge street and cottman avenue. highway reduced to those three lanes. so far in delay. that is latest from the cbs-3 traffic center, i'm ann evans now nicole back to you. >> thanks very much ann. 7:20. carol answers your pet questions in this weeks ask the vet. >> a long back dog and a lot of dips in there, some can have have some problems. we will figure out how to handle a disk problem in the dog coming up with

7:24 am
hurt. just crawling out from under a chair should not be traumatic but sometimes it can be for these little guys. >> so with a dog like this or other dog with a long back and short legs is the goal just to keep them on a level playing surface at all times which is almost impossible, or just to watch for any kind of behavior problems after the pain hits. >> i would probably watch for behavior, the long the hanging neck, the hunched over neck and even sometimes with the collar on, moving the wrong way, they could hurt their neck. they might cry out. >> collars are not the best thing for a dog of any kind. >> harness is the best thing absolutely it dispersees the pressure. >> collar can hit certain spots. >> then they will choke, and as far as chiropractic adjustments go they could easily go out of alignment and need an adjustment. >> so if you put your dog in the harness and they have a gentle liter harness you have
